The vexed question of' municipal countenance being given to persons in receipt of municipal relief being ]>er-mit ed to engage in employment and receive lumber in payment for their labor, with no deduction in the amount of their relief payments, was before the members of the city council again on Monday evening.

The letter of the company \va,s ordered filed.
